New Range Toy - S&W M&P15-22 Sport

[shlike]

I recently added this little gem to the stable. It's a S&W M&P 15-22 Sport. It functions just like regular AR for the most part. I added some Magpul furniture and a Bushnell TRS-25 Red Dot on a UTG medium riser, which allows it to co-witness perfectly with the Magpul BUIS sights that came standard on the gun. It came with a 25-round magazine, and I purchased some additional 10-round magazines for it. I had some stovepipe ejection problems at first, but after some research online, discovered this is a common problem, and the fix is a simple adjustment to the ejector, which took all of 5 seconds and was accomplished with a push of my thumb (no tools needed). I had originally contacted S&W regarding the problem, and they sent me a label to send the gun back to have it fixed, but I figured I'd try it myself first, and it has functioned flawlessly since, so I didn't bother to send it back. Since I adjusted the ejector I have put about 300 rounds through the gun ( which is not hard to do in a very short time!) without a single malfunction.

With the Red-Dot, I can rapid-fire a 4-5" group at 30 yds. offhand. Even with the BUIS, I can get very small groups off a rest at 50+ yards.

This is a fun little gun to shoot, almost boringly accurate and reliable. It is not picky about the ammo I feed it, although I prefer to stick to CCI Mini-Mags (1235 fps) just because they seem to burn much cleaner than some other brands. Winchester Super-X works well too.

You're now testing my "no more guns" resolve.

I like what you done with that! :)
Mine is a plain Jane (standard?) with the A1 style comp, but it's quickly become my favorite of the auto-loading .22LR rifles I have.

I love mine too. I got it a few years back for $277. I've noticed the price has gone up quite a bit.
